SUMMARY:WEBINAR I Quarterly EU Economic Update for 2024 Converging on a Soft Landing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join EACCNY for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Autumn 2023 Economic Forecast.\n\nThe US economy has grown faster than the European Union’s for the past five quarters. There are a variety of reasons for the discrepancy in performance between the EU and the US\, including the trade and resulting energy price shock in Europe prompted by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine; fiscal policy and the lingering effects of pandemic era stimulus programs; as well labor market dynamics.\n\nThe latest forecast shows that the third quarter may have marked the peak of this growth divergence\, as US economic growth accelerated while GDP in Europe held steady. Yet US growth is projected to slow over the course of next year\, while in the EU growth is set to pick up.\n\nThe panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-November and weigh the prospects for European and global growth\, interest rates\, inflation\, budget deficits\, the state of transatlantic and global sovereign debt developments\, and energy prices in the context of increasing geo-political risks.\n\n \n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n 	Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, DELEGATION of the EU to the U.S.\n 	Maddalena Perretti\, Economist – Advisor\, ECB REPRESENTATION to the U.S.\n 	Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | 19:00h – 20:00h CET\n\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nEvent organized in partnership with:\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Webinar | Quarterly EU Economic Update - Sailing Through Calmer Seas?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Please join us on May 22 for this program which is part of our recurring Quarterly EU Economic Updates.\n\nThe European Union has weathered the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine much better than expected. The commodity price shock of 2022 is now a thing of the past\, as Europe has pivoted away from Russian imports of oil and natural gas with amazing speed. Not only has the EU avoided energy shortages\, but gas prices have now fallen below pre-war levels. This resilience has allowed the EU to shrug off fears of a recession and continue its economic expansion.\n\nGrowth in 2023 is likely to be stronger than expected just a few months ago. Historically strong labor markets\, improving consumer confidence\, and solid corporate profits are all working to keep the expansion on track\, even in the face of continuing headwinds from the war. Though inflation remains too high\, it is now coming down and should continue to ease in the months ahead. The EU is making massive investments in the green and digital transitions\, which will secure Europe’s energy independence\, support growth and innovation\, and promote a cleaner\, healthier environment.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Spring 2023 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-May and weigh the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risk factors.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\nOther speaker(s) will be announced soon.\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | 19:00 – 20:00 CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n \n\nProgram brought to you by EACCNY and organized in partnership with:\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Webinar | Quarterly EU Economic Update - How Much Closer Will Europe Come Together to Stay Warm This Winter?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACCNY.\n\n\nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine\, as the world was just beginning to emerge from COVID\, has been a huge shock to the global economy and no region of the world has borne the brunt of this shock as much as Europe. The war has led millions of refugees to seek safety in the EU\, caused household food and energy bills to soar\, and threatened the competitiveness of entire industrial sectors as the costs of basic inputs have mounted.\n\nYet the shock of the attack on Ukraine has reinforced the lessons learned from the pandemic namely that coordinated\, collective action is the only effective response\, and Europe is stronger & more effective when it acts in unison. The war has thus been a galvanizing force that is bringing the EU closer together.\n\nIt is now clear that the green energy transition is not simply a matter of combating climate change\, but that making Europe independent from Russian fossil fuel imports is a strategic necessity. The EU and its Member States are already executing a host of policy measures\, some initiated during the Covid 19 Pandemic\, that will mobilize hundreds of billions of euros in new energy investments\, contain energy prices and bring inflation back under control\, and support freedom and democracy in Ukraine.\n\nWith winter fast approaching\, these efforts have already begun to bear fruit.\n• Natural gas reserves are over 90% full\, and Russian imports have fallen from 40% last year to under 10%.\n• Construction of new energy infrastructure is beginning\, households and businesses are receiving support to ease the pain of high energy bills.\n• The Ukrainian people are getting aid that will allow them to continue their stand against Russian aggression.\n\nBut these early successes have not resolved all of the challenges that lie ahead. The economic outlook is complex: the EU faces the prospect of a recession in 2023\, many member states may face fiscal constraints as they seek to provide for needed investments and social spending\, and risks are\, to say the least\, tilted to the downside.\n\nIn this fluid and challenging geo-political environment\, be sure to join us for a discussion of the EU Commission’s latest economic forecast and learn more about:\n• How the EU is simultaneously attempting to cushion Europe from the economic shocks it is facing\, including how Member States are implementing significant structural reforms to counteract these economic challenges.\n• How Europe is investing in new and innovative renewable energy technologies that could put European firms at the leading edge of green innovations.\n• The west’s resolve and resilience as it combats authoritarian threats to liberal democracy and the rule of law.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Debora Revoltella\, Director – Economics Department\, EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK\n• Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | 19:00 – 20:00 CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Webinar | Quarterly EU Economic Update: Forged in Crisis – How the War in Ukraine May Strengthen the European Union & the Transatlantic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program brought to you by EACC New York.\n\nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a humanitarian crisis and a major macro-economic shock that fundamentally changes the global economic outlook. The EU is directly exposed to spillovers from the conflict\, but the impact will be more pronounced for countries on its eastern border. Surging commodity prices\, disrupted supply chains\, and unprecedented trade and financial sanctions will all weigh on growth and push inflation higher in the near-term.\n\nWith that said\, key economic indicators show that the European economic expansion overall should remain strong enough to weather these war-related disruptions and continue its recovery. The outlook is clouded by significant uncertainties regarding the outcome of the war in Ukraine\, the impacts of economic sanctions on Russia\, and possible responses from Russia and other major geopolitical actors. It is clear that the war presents many challenges for the EU\, especially over the medium-term\, and it drives home the need to accelerate the energy transition. Securing clean\, reliable sources of energy are now not simply an environmental priority\, but a matter of geopolitical security for Europe.\n\nIt is often said that Europe will be forged in crises but with challenges come opportunity. The continent is responding with solidarity\, strengthening and deepening the European Union while providing aid to Ukraine. Forceful policy actions are reinforcing a broad-based economic recovery by supporting business and household incomes\, encouraging investment\, and promoting the green and digital transitions.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing the European economy. Our panel will begin with an update on the European Commission’s newly released Spring 2022 Economic Forecast\, the first to factor in the war in Ukraine and associated sanctions on Russia.\n\nWe will then discuss the major challenges and opportunities facing Europe\, covering a variety of possible scenarios and key questions facing policy makers:\n\n● What is the inflation outlook and how should policy makers respond?\n● How should the EU adjust its fiscal stance to deal with the impact of the war?\n● What policy tools are available to ease the uneven impact of the war and refugee inflow on different EU member states?\n● How are businesses likely to adapt their supply chains?\n● What are the main EU policy developments in the energy sector?\n● What does the war mean for the broader global economic and financial architecture that has been in place since World War Two?\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT | 19:00h – 20:00h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCFL Members: Free\nEACCFL non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis Webinar is funded by the European Union\n\n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Quarterly EU Economic Update: A Rocky Road to Recovery – Can the Recovery & Resilience Fund be the game changer the EU economy needs?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\nThere is a lot of momentum behind the recovery and we should see some solid growth numbers for the EU economies over the remainder of the year and into 2022. High vaccination rates and cautious public health policies are now paying growth dividends across the EU. With that said\, the pace of the recovery is moderating as supply shortages and logistical bottlenecks weigh on output. Inventories are very low and many manufacturers simply can’t get the supplies they need. On the labor market side\, it has been challenging to fill open positions due to skills mismatches.\n\nIn other words\, short-term demand policy seems to have worked well both in Europe and the US. Savings rates are high and investment is growing. But Covid-related supply constraints are holding back growth and look set to last longer than expected. Policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic now need to focus on the medium- to long-term. In this vein\, the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility [RRF] will finance a lot of new investment in green and digital technologies that will boost growth and productivity further while ‘future-proofing’ the economic structure by linking RRF funds to structural reform. RRF roll-out has already started and policy makers as well as the private sector are optimistic\, especially about the speed of the green and digital transitions.\n\nThe EU Commission still expects supply shortages to be temporary\, but in the meantime\, they are feeding into higher headline inflation\, and there is uncertainty over how to effectively address these bottlenecks in the short term. Rising energy prices are also causing a headache for policy makers in Europe\, where many countries depend on imported gas. This raises important strategic questions\, including whether green investments will smooth out or aggravate tensions in the energy market.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released autumn 2021 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-October and weighs the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risks.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\nWednesday\, November 17th\, 2021\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT / 19:00 h – 20:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC Friends: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis webinar is funded by the European Union.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Europe Post Merkel: Angela Merkel’s Impact on the EU and how Transatlantic politics could look like going forward
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program brought to you by EACCNY.\n\nAngela Merkel has been in office for 16 years and has been an extraordinary force for stability in the West. The end of her chancellorship and with that new leadership in Berlin\, injects a degree of uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic about the general course and the new champions who may fill the gap her departure will create.\n\nThe 2008 financial crisis\, Brexit\, the pandemic and the rise of authoritarian regimes have challenged the values of the European Union. After a turbulent 2020 election cycle\, the US is nearly one year into a new administration that is managing both domestic and international crises.\n\nOur Panel will discuss how the upcoming change in German leadership may affect not only the power dynamic within Europe but also more broadly\, how next German Chancellor and new elections elsewhere across Europe\, may change the transatlantic relationship.\n\nWe will explore if the change at the top will offer a breath of fresh air not only for Germany\, but also for Europe and the Transatlantic collaboration and if a new coalition will be able to rally Europe to step up and become a more active business & political partner to the United States.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Daniel Benjamin\, President\, AMERICAN ACADEMY in Berlin & former Coordinator for Counter-terrorism at the United States Department of State (moderator)\n• Peter Fischer-Bollin\, Head of Department Analysis and Consulting\, KONRAD ADENAUER SIFTUNG\n• Anthony L. Gardner Author and former Ambassador of the United States to the European Union\n• Jonathan Hackenbroich\, Policy Fellow for Economic Statecraft\, Head of ECFR’s Task Force for Protecting Europe from Economic Coercion ECFR\n• Marion Van Renterghem\, Journalist\, Author of “C’était Merkel” and Director of the TV documentary “Recherche Merkel désespérément” (Desperately Seeking Merkel).\n\nTIME:\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT / 16:00 h – 17:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Are You Sure Your Transatlantic Business is Resilient for the Risks of Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Netherlands.\n\nThe effects of the Covid restrictions on the supply chain can’t be missed and will hopefully be temporary. The consequences of climate change are presumed to be broader and more lasting.\n\nMore than 50% of the top 10 risks listed in The Global Risk Report of the World Economic Forum are climate related. This program will focus on the foreseeable and unforeseeable climate-related challenges for transatlantic economies and their businesses. Hence\, business leaders have a responsibility to integrate the impact of climate change in their company’s risk assessment and strategy.\n\nTherefore\, the program will be streamlined along the following questions:\n\n 	What do we see happening?\n 	What is it impacting?\n 	How to prepare/prevent and which measures do other companies already undertake?\n\nFor whom is this webinar?\n\nThis program is organized for Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members of international companies active in transatlantic business and invited professionals of the EACC network.\n\nFormat:\nThe webinar is split in 2 sessions of 45 min. each:\n\n 	Part 1-2: Fireside chat with keynote speakers for all registrees.\n4.00pm – 4.45pm CET | 10.00am – 10.45am ET\n 	Part 2-2: Expert conversation between Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members and keynotes\, for exchanging opinions and experience.\n4.45pm – 5.30pm CET | 10.45am – 11.30am ET\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n 	Louise van Schaik\, Head of Unit EU & Global Affairs\, Clingendael Institute.\n 	Roderick de la Houssaye\, Chair\, Fenex\n 	Jacques Buith\, Global lead partner for the United States\, Deloitte and EU Green Deal Advisor.
